APPARATUS FOR GAPSULATlNG BOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,883, dated February 1, 1887.

Application filed June 28, 1836.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it k130 w n that I, J 02mm AUGUST Nsrnn- MANN, a resident of the city of Hannovrisch- Mundeu, in the Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Capsulating Bottles, Jars. and the like, of which the following is a specification.

My in vention relates to improvementsin apparatus for the fastening of capsules on hottles, jars, and similar articles; audit has for its object to provide an arrangement which, besides giving the radial moving jaws of the apparatus a uniform motion, transmits a great pressure on the capsules by a proportionally small pressure on the operating-lever.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front view of the apparatus, showing the jaws closed. Fig; 2 represents the same with the jaws open. Fig. 3 isaside view,

and Fig. 4 a hack view,of the apparatus with closed jaws.

The jaws a a a constructed, as usual, of indiaruhher or other elastic material, are attached to slide-blocks b 1)" 1 which move radiall y toward the center in the guides c c c, which latter are fastened to the frame d. The

slide-blocks b b are moved by toggle-levers f f, connected through rods h if to the working-lever e, the knees g g of saidtoggle-joints f j' being through the rods h iii in direct communication with the working-point i of the lever e. The upper slide-block, If is directly connected to a rod, 7f, the lowerend of which is attached nearer to the fulcrum or pivot m of the lever 62 at so that the directmoved slide-block I; may have thesame power and amount of motion transmitted to it as the slide-blocks b b, operated by the toggle-joints What I claim as my invention is The combination of jaws a a? a, with slide blocks 2) I) Z; and radial guides c c c, the toggle levers ff", rods h, h", and if, said rod If being directly connected to the slideblock b and lever e, substantially as specilied.

In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
